Introduction
Using an advanced microprocessor controlled detection system, the 01
Series Personal Single Gas Monitor detects the presence of either carbon
monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S), or oxygen (O
2
). The 01 Series’s
compact size and easy-to-use design makes it ideally suited for a wide
range of applications, including sewage treatment plants, tunnels,
hazardous waste sites, petrochemical facilities, oil fields, mines, and
chemical plants. The 01 Series is even small enough to be placed
conveniently in a pocket. The 01 Series offers the following features:
• Compact design
• Fast, accurate response with digital liquid crystal display (LCD)
• Visual, audible, and vibration alarms
• Microprocessor control for reliability, ease of use, and advanced
capabilities
• Peak, STEL, and TWA indication for CO-01& HS-01
• Minimum and maximum indication for OX-01
• Over range alarm
• Gas, battery, sensor failure, and system failure alarms
• Over 3,000 hours operation on one set of alkaline batteries
• CSA certified for intrinsic safety in Class I, Division I, Groups A, B, C,
and D hazardous atmospheres
• Low temperature operation down to -40 °C with the HS-01S
WARNING: The 01 Series detects oxygen deficiency and elevated
levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen
sulfide, all of which can be dangerous or life threatening.
When using the 01 Series, you must follow the
instructions and warnings in this manual to assure
proper and safe operation of the unit and to minimize the
risk of personal injury. Be sure to maintain and
periodically calibrate the 01 Series as described in this
